Abstract

An electronic device includes a housing, a circuit board, a camera, a coupling wire, and a wire rewinding assembly. The circuit board is received in the housing. The camera is movably mounted on the housing. The coupling wire is electrically coupled to the circuit board and the camera. The wire rewinding assembly includes a driving member mounted on the housing and a wire spool rotated by the driving member. A first end of the coupling wire is electrically coupled to the camera. A second end of the coupling wire is wound on the wire spool and electrically coupled to the circuit board. When the driving member rotates the wire spool, the coupling wire can be unwound or be rewound on the wire spool.

Claims

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An electronic device comprising:
 a housing; 
 a circuit board received in the housing; 
 a camera movably coupled to the housing; 
 a coupling wire having a first end and a second end, the first end being electrically coupled to the camera, and the second end being electrically coupled to the circuit board; 
 a wire rewinding assembly comprising:
 a driving member mounted on the housing, and 
 a wire spool coupled to the driving member, wherein the wire spool is configured to be rotated by the driving member, and wherein the wire spool is configured to have the coupling wire wound around; and 
 
 a locking assembly comprising:
 a button; wherein a latching hole is defined on the housing, and the button is movably received in the latching hole; 
 a locking member coupled to the button; and 
 a coupling member rotatably mounted on the housing by a pin, the coupling member comprising:
 a coupling portion rotatably mounted on the housing; 
 a first fixing portion coupled to the coupling portion and the button; and 
 a second fixing portion coupled to the coupling portion and the locking member; 
 
 
 wherein when the driving member rotates the wire spool, the coupling wire can be unwound or rewound on the wire spool. 
 
     
     
       2. The electronic device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the electronic device further comprises a supporting member movably coupled to the housing; 
 wherein the camera is rotatably coupled to the supporting member, the coupling wire passes through the supporting member, and a locking hole is defined in the supporting member; and 
 wherein the locking member is movably locked to the locking hole. 
 
     
     
       3. The electronic device of  claim 2 ,
 wherein the locking assembly further comprises an elastic member abut against the housing and the coupling member; and 
 wherein two ends of the coupling member are coupled to the button and the locking member. 
 
     
     
       4. The electronic device of  claim 3 , wherein a side of the locking member away from the coupling member defines a guiding surface. 
     
     
       5. The electronic device of  claim 3 , wherein the elastic member is sleeved on a shaft coupled to the housing. 
     
     
       6. The electronic device of  claim 5 , wherein the supporting member comprises:
 a supporting portion, wherein a first through hole is defined in the supporting portion; and 
 a retractable portion retractably coupled to the supporting portion, wherein a second through hole is defined in the retractable portion. 
 
     
     
       7. The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the camera comprises:
 a camera body, 
 a protruding portion protruded out from the camera body, and 
 a flashlight mounted on the camera body, 
 wherein the protruding portion is pivoted to the supporting member by a pin. 
 
     
     
       8. The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein a plurality of electrical interfaces are defined on an end of the camera away from the supporting member. 
     
     
       9. The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein at least one electrical interface is defined on an end of the camera away from the supporting member, the electronic device further comprises another camera comprising at least one electrical plug, the at least one electrical plug can be detachably plugged into the at least one electrical interface. 
     
     
       10. An electronic device comprising:
 a housing; 
 a circuit board received in the housing; 
 two cameras detachably coupled to each other; 
 a coupling wire having a first end and a second end, the first end being electrically coupled to one of the cameras, and the second end being electrically coupled to the circuit board; 
 a wire rewinding assembly comprising:
 a driving member mounted on the housing, and 
 a wire spool rotated by the driving member and being configured to have the coupling wire wound around; and 
 
 a locking assembly comprising:
 a button; wherein a latching hole is defined on the housing, and the button is movably received in the latching hole; 
 a locking member coupled to the button; and 
 a coupling member rotatably mounted on the housing by a pin, the coupling member comprising:
 a coupling portion rotatably mounted on the housing; 
 a first fixing portion coupled to the coupling portion and the button; and 
 a second fixing portion coupled to the coupling portion and the locking member. 
 
 
 
     
     
       11. The electronic device of  claim 10 ,
 wherein the electronic device further comprises a supporting member movably coupled to the housing; 
 wherein the camera coupled to the coupling wire is rotatably coupled to the supporting member, the coupling wire passes through the supporting member, and a locking hole is defined in the supporting member; and 
 wherein the locking member is detachably locked to the locking hole. 
 
     
     
       12. The electronic device of  claim 11 ,
 wherein the locking assembly further comprises an elastic member abut against the housing and the coupling member; and 
 wherein two ends of the coupling member are coupled to the button and the locking member. 
 
     
     
       13. The electronic device of  claim 12 , wherein the locking member defines a guiding surface. 
     
     
       14. The electronic device of  claim 12 , wherein the elastic member is sleeved on a shaft coupled to the housing.
